I got the book for Christmas but haven't started reading it yet. The concept sounds like something that could strike a cors with the masses, so I am not surprised that there is talk of a film version. I hope this both gets made and is successful, so that more modest-yet-entertaining Films such as this get made.

btw @aabattery @grim22 this has a release date of September 27

HOW MANY OF THESE DOG MOVIES ARE THERE

[Alli]

Have you guys seen HACHI with Richard Gere? That movie absolutely destroyed me. I don't know how these new dog movies are, but i doubt they can beat that tearjerker.

[filmlover]

Future trivia question: what do Bryce Dallas Howard, Josh Gad, and Kevin Costner all have in common? (the answer: they provided the voices of dogs in 2019 movies).

[SLAM!]

Just watched the trailer. I think it looks very good. I'm in the middle of the book now and the book is definitely more mature than this movie, but this movie picked a great director and a great cast, and those good choices really present themselves in the trailer. This can end up being much closer to Paddington than the other dog-POV films.

I swear if my theatre doesn’t get this after not playing a Dog’s Journey im going to throw a fit.

 

And then watch them play Cats in all the biggest auditoriums come Christmas. Some heavy anti-dog bias going on

[JB33]

@aabattery Can you or another mod change the date to August 9, 2019? 

 

After how A Dog's Journey did at the box office, anyone else think this completely bombs, or will it be a bit of a comeback for the Hallmark dog movie genre?

Dogs are going to have to pick up their game if they want to compete with cats at the B.O.   Where's the singing and/or dancing?

Oh dear god this looks unbearably sappy.

It appears I'm seeing this with the girlfriend for our anniversary.

 

Also, paging @aabattery again: Mind helping an OCD person out and changing the date on the title? Super!

[JB33]

@DAJK do you know yet if your theatre will be getting this? I'm back in BC for the summer and the theatre in Kamloops won't. I'm kind of surprised.

Official bookings don’t arrive until Tuesday (cause of the holiday today) but I’ve been told we’re getting it, so I’m pretty sure

Ok cool. I ask because your theatre has generally been a good indicator of what the one here gets.

It’s sort of a weird case this weekend though, we actually got offered all 4 wide releases and got to pick 2, with the caveat that we couldn’t have both family titles. So box office wise I’m not sure why they picked rain over Dora but I’m fine with it cause I wasn’t gonna watch Dora anyways.

But yea, we NEVER get to pick what we play, so this really is strange

Yeah not sure. Maybe because it's a weekend full of DOA offerings it doesn't even matter.
